Quality Search Engine Optimization - It's more of a science than art.
Quality SEO ~ Sometimes I sit here in disbelief when I read the claims made by those who call themselves SEO Experts. Now I know everyone wants to save money and maximize their dollars, but when it comes to SEO, there seems to be more fraud than good. SEO is a necessary part of every web site, there are the basic meta tags, the titles, the chosen phrases in the content and various other details that need to work together, you have to make sure it all sings the same song like a choir; it all has to be a harmonious effort focusing on one common lyrical goal. When you hear someone tell you they can SEO your site and get you in the top ten rankings for $500, you are walking into a scam; and the tricks these scammers use in attempting to deceive the search engines, may just get your site banned. Cheaply getting top search engine listings very quick = Cheaply getting rich very quick with little effort, it just doesn't happen.
Meta Tags ~ There is much debate over the effectiveness of meta tags, and I think it's mostly because of the labor involved with researching terms, and changing the tags with each new updated web page. Sure, doing the tags and leaving them will help, but there's a lot more to it. We have found that most of the software out there pretty much covers the bare basics, but the problem is, they build these programs for a one-size-fits-all clientele. We take the time to understand what your goal is, and then research the relevant terms that are actually being searched on, versus what you think potential clients are typing in. Again, this takes a lot of work and every so often when pages are updated and refreshed, this task must once again be repeated. We stay on top of the little details and perform all the required maintenance, our ultimate goal is to consistently keep your phone ringing.
Staying Focused ~ It used to be that years ago all you needed was to put a few keywords into the meta tags and you were rocketing to the top of the organic search results, but things have changed. Now for every term you are going after, there are 1000 new people working to capture the same exact search terms, words and phrases. The key for us is clean code and to research your message, map out a plan of attack to remove the competition's stronghold, and gradually overtake them in the rankings. Most SEO companies say they can get you to the top for your term. We will tell you that landing a top term is no easy task. So what the scammers do is sign you into a contract where they have you settle for completely obscure terms, and then tell you how successful they were at achieving their goals, yet your phone never rings. We go after relevant terms and plan a steady and consistent path towards that objective. We can help you achieve wonders in your desired local market or target area, but the whole point of this is to get your phone to ring. Pie charts, bar graphs, traffic statistics all look nice, but it's the phone ringing that really counts. We never take our eyes off the goal line, and once we're there, we will fight to defend our position.
Putting it all together ~When it comes to SEOing your web site, it's a very important variable, but it's not the SOLE essential ingredient for successful search engine rankings. Like every other aspect discussed on this site, it takes time, energy and concentration to achieve the best results. We believe that slow and steady wins the race and that SEO is more than just filling in the meta tags. Each piece of the SEO puzzle works to form a kind of radio signal, that will be received by those who are searching for your station on their radio dial. We've spent years researching, experimenting, and working within their guidelines, and we respect their rules. Let us be the ones to give your web site a proper introduction; we'll even make sure there's no toilet paper stuck to the bottom of your virtual internet shoes.
